Android Pie kernel sources now available for the Motorola One Power, Moto G7, Redmi 7, and Redmi Y3
The kernel source code based on Android Pie for the Motorola One Power, Moto G7, Redmi 7, and Redmi Y3 are now available.
Android's customizability is one of the reasons for its immense popularity and its open-source nature allows independent developers and enthusiasts to create tools that allow you to fine-tune the experience with Android devices. The public availability of kernel source code for specific devices plays a vital role in spurring the development of AOSP-based ROMs, official support for custom recoveries like TWRP, or custom kernels. Under GNU General Public License (GPL), manufacturers are compelled to share kernel sources for any Linux kernel used on their device so that the development community can benefit from them. With the growing awareness of consumers, more and more companies are using early access to the kernel sources as a selling point. Xiaomi is among them and has now released the kernel sources for Redmi 7 and the Redmi Y3, which were recently launched in India.
Xiaomi launches the Redmi Y3 and the Redmi 7 in India, starting at ₹9,999 and ₹7,999
At an event in Delhi, Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Y3 and the Redmi 7 in India. Read on to know more about the devices, their pricing and availability!
The budget segment of the Indian market is one of the most competitive smartphone segments, where many have perished trying to hunt for success. Xiaomi has dominated this segment in recent years, but it does so against stiff competition from competitors like Samsung, Oppo, Vivo, Asus, Motorola and now recently, through Realme. For Xiaomi, the original Redmi-series represents the most value-oriented purchase decisions across their lineup, while the Y-series focuses on providing an enhanced camera experience for those who prioritize selfie capabilities in a phone. At an event in Delhi, Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Y3 as well as the Redmi 7 in India, bringing in upgrade to these two segments.
The Xiaomi Redmi Y3 is the "Pro" variant of the Redmi 7
We found out that the upcoming Xiaomi Redmi Y3 smartphone bears close connection to the Redmi 7, and can be thought of as the "Pro" version. Read on!
If you are someone who likes to keep track of current as well as upcoming smartphone releases, then you would certainly agree that tracking Xiaomi's releases is a pain point. The Chinese OEM is notorious for releasing a phone in one region, rebranding the same phone with a different name in another region, and then reusing the original name for a different phone in yet another region. If this sounds confusing, that's because it is. We even have started referring to several Xiaomi devices through their device codename rather than their marketing name, as that is more device-specific and easier to follow than the sea of Redmis and Redmi Notes.
